You don't understand. Yes, riding a train through the Adirondacks would be nice. The Adirondacks are some of the most beautiful mountains east of the Mississippi. I even lived for a few years a bit south of the Adirondacks and hiked two of the 46 peaks...
But with the Santa Cruz rail line, we're talking
California. And not just any ole' California, but the California Coast.
Duuuuuuuuude....
Nothing, but nothing, beats Western railroading...
